Norman Rockwell (above in a 1968 photograph by Garry Camp Burdick), who created more than 300 original covers for the Saturday Evening Post over the course of his long career, was already widely known for his rich visualizations of the American dream when he set about the challenging task of animating FDR's Four Freedoms. NPG, © 1968 Garry Camp Burdick Norman Rockwell, the master of Americana, Four Freedoms. By illuminating rights that every American—and every person—should enjoy, Rockwell’s Four Freedoms validated the U.S. decision to enter World War II and overcome powerful enemies whose actions devalued human life. His enduring messages have lingered in the national consciousness, remaining as significant today as they were when the Saturday Evening Post published them in four consecutive weeks during the winter of 1943. Rockwell’s images had a clear meaning, says the Smithsonian’s “American Democracy: A Great Leap of Faith,” which features a large set of the original Four Freedoms war bond posters from 1943. Immediately after publishing Rockwell’s four paintings— Freedom of Speech, Freedom of Religion, Freedom from Want and Freedom from Fear—the magazine received 25,000 requests to purchase copies. Color reproductions of all four sold for 25 cents apiece. The paintings became the basis for 4 million war posters sold as part of the War Bonds effort, raising $132,992,539. “They were received by the public with more enthusiasm, perhaps, than any other paintings in the his...

Over the centuries, the attitudes and behavior of Christians aimed at promoting this understanding have been, in a word, deeply ambivalent. The pervasive ambivalence over the desirability of religious freedom is amply, if variously, evident in the basic textual sources collected and discussed in this Sourcebook on Christianity and Religious Freedom, a product of Georgetown University’s Religious Freedom Project. These sources, whether Ancient, Medieval, Early Modern, or Modern, should help correct two conflicting and equally inaccurate convictions. One is strong skepticism that Christianity contributed anything constructive to the rise of religious freedom. The other is the assumption that Christian beliefs and communities invariably favor religious freedom. In reality, Christians have always struggled to r...

The First Amendment's Today, we tend to take it for granted — most church and state controversies deal more directly with the establishment clause — but the risk that federal and local government agencies may harass or discriminate against religious minorities (most visibly atheists and Muslims) remains. 1649 Colonial Maryland passes the Religious Toleration Act, which could more accurately be characterized as an ecumenical Christian toleration act — as it still mandated the death penalty for non-Christians: That whatsoever person or persons within this Province and the Islands thereunto helonging shall from henceforth blaspheme God, that is Curse him, or deny our Saviour Jesus Christ to be the son of God, or shall deny the holy Trinity the father son and holy Ghost, or the Godhead of any of the said three persons of the Trinity or the Unity of the Godhead, or shall use or utter any reproachfull speeches, words or language concerning the said Holy Trinity, or any of the said three persons thereof, shall be punished with death and confiscation or forfeiture of all his or her lands and goods to the Lord Proprietary and his heires. Still, the act's affirmation of Christian religious diversity and its prohibition on harassment of any conventional Christian denomination was relatively progressive by the standards of its time. 1787 Article VI, section 3 of the U.S. Constitution outlaws the use of religious tests as a criterion for public office: The Senators and Representatives ...

NOEL KING, HOST: The principle of religious freedom in America used to be a bipartisan issue. Twenty-five years ago, Congress approved the Religious Freedom Restoration Act almost unanimously. But that consensus has unraveled. Our religion correspondent Tom Gjelten sees a growing debate over what religious freedom actually means. TOM GJELTEN, BYLINE: Religious freedom is part of America's foundation because it was colonized by people who experienced religious persecution. Baptists and others wanted freedom from the semi-official Anglican church establishment. Later on, Seventh-day Adventists were among those pushing for religious liberty. They had a faith tradition of their own, though their places of worship looked like other Christian churches. (SOUNDBITE OF DOOR CLOSING) SAMUEL DADE: Yeah. I mean, it's mainstream. GJELTEN: In Orlando, Fla., Pastor Samuel Dale (ph) shows me around his Solid Rock Seventh-day Adventist Church. DADE: I mean, if you were to show up on a Sabbath, much of the liturgy and everything is going to be identical. The only difference is we hold church on Saturday. GJELTEN: Adventists take seriously the biblical story that God made the world in six days and rested on the seventh. So they do the same. One of Pastor Dale's longtime congregants, Darrell Patterson (ph), is here. He points to his pew. DARRELL PATTERSON: I can tell you precisely, my wife and I sit right over here, behind... GJELTEN: Patterson is close to Pastor Dale because the minister sto...
